pictures of 1.2 16v lowered on fk

[JD]

can some one post a picture of what theyre front suspension looks like please?

ie i want to see if there is a washer between the new suspension and the bolt that attaches it to the arm that connects to the wheel hub.

if that makes sense?

 

[Middo]

you mean if the bolt that goes through the hub has a washer on it?

the answer is that is no. but no idea what your asking lol.

 

[JD]

no i mean if the bolts that attach the fk suspension to the suspension arm (ie how you adjust camber by loosening and moving them) have washers on

jamie

 

[Middo]

yeah gotya. they're just the original bolts so they dont have washers.

anyone got any pictures of 1.2's lowered anyway? gonna do it to mine just wondering how much to drop it by and what looks best

i always fit some massive washers to them as if you over tighten them the bolt squashes into the bracket

yeah that was my thinknig fred, just had to get rstuning to redo them with new bolts and make some washers out of machined metal so they can be tightened up . . . . and charged me three hours labour to find and fix the fault, not happy
